COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of
food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through
the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster
than regular methods, while retaining their natural
texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food
directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.
Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is spent in food
preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in
flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food
surfaces.
Combination cooking combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while
browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset
the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns
off automatically.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection, and combination
cooking.
MICROWAVE
Microwave energy is
distributed evenly
throughout the oven for fast,
thorough cooking of food.

COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in your microwave oven.
However, to test cookware before using, follow these
steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is
warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.
Convection Cooking
•Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning or crusting is
important.
• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper
crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or
muffins because these pans reflect heat and help
produce a light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are
best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cleanability of glass.
Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal
trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall
or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the
oven.
• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to
50°F) may be used, but is not recommended for
foods that require crusting or all-around browning,
because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at
least 10 to 15 minutes will brown lightly. Foods cooked
a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent,
such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue
sauce.
COVERING
A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paper
will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and
help retain heat. When warming bread items, use
waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also
turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry,
fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently
for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after
being removed from the oven. Usually, you need to
cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove
most foods when they are slightly undercooked and
they will finish cooking during standing time. The
internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F during
standing time.
S IELDING
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield
them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls
to prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as
potatoes and squash.

CLEANING
PRECAUTIONS
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
•Place the front surface of the door three inches or
more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.
•To program the oven, make sure you touch the center
of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time
a pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads
at once.
•Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
•Always use caution when taking cookware out of the
oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food
and may be hot. See the “Cookware Guide” earlier in
this section for more information.
•Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This
may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable
to cool before removing it from the oven.
•Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or
water should always be in the oven during operation
to absorb the microwave energy.
•Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.
•Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
•The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
•Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the
shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it
to burst.
•There are several precautions to follow when
microwaving popcorn:
— Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.
— Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not
microwave-approved.
— Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
— Do not repop unpopped kernels.
— Do not reuse popcorn bags.
— Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
— Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
— Follow directions on bag.
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to
prevent an accidental oven start.
INTERIOR
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This
should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,
rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning
powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
•The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause
the turntable to break during use.
•The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.
DOOR
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR to clear
any entries that might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that the
turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

MICROWAVE
This function allows you to cook food for a desired time.
And in order to give you the best results, there are 10
power level settings in addition to HI-POWER because
many food need slower cooking (at less than HI-
POWER).

AUTO DEFROST
Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The
defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods, because the oven
automatically sets the defrosting times for each food
item according to the weight you enter. For added
convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in
tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost
cycle. Four different defrosting options are provided.
1.MEAT
2.POULTRY
3.FIS
4.BREAD
After touching the AUTO DEFROST once, select the
food category. Available weight ranges for Meat,
Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available
weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 Ib.
For best results:
• Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its
original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to
the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the
foods to cook.
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat
when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
NOTE:
After you touch ENTER/START button, the display
counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once
during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and
turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.
Remove any portions that have thawed then return
frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START
button to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not
STOP during the BEEP unless the door is opened.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING
This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function.
Please read these instructions carefully.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air
over the food surfaces. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Command Pads.
DO NOT USE T E OVEN WIT OUT T E TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1. You can cook food with the Metal Cooking Rack on the turntable.
2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
. Use convection cooking for items like soufflés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat
and fish cooking.
5. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking;
however, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the convection oven
cooking directions. See examples in the charts in this section.
6. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the
empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and
poultry without preheating.
7. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.
8. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to
the charts in this Use and Care Guide.
9. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing
and damage to the oven may occur.
10. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature
for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
•The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring, metal racks, and cooking utensils will become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensil, metal rack, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
•Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.

CONVECTION
During convection cooking, a heating element is used
to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven.
Convection cooking temperature ranges from 225° F to
50° F and 100° F may be programmed.
It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.
Lower oven temperature by 25° F from package
recommended temperature, instructions. The
baking time may vary according to the food
condition or individual preference. Check doneness
at the minimum time and then adjust time.
NOTES:
• When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature,
five tones will sound and the oven will automatically
hold that temperature for 30 minutes.
• The oven temperature drops very quickly when the
door is opened, however, this should not prevent food
from being fully cooked during normal cooking time.
NOTE: After preheating display scrolls “PREHEAT
END” with sound. Open the door, place food on the
metal tray or rack, and close the door. Display
scrolls “ENTER COOKING TIME”
NOTE:
• The temperature range has 10 steps.
• The default temperature is 350° F.

CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE
1. Always use the metal rack when convection bak-
ing. place food directly on rack or place in metal
tray and then place tray on rack. (See page 6.)
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most con-
vection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results
because they prevent overbrowning in the time it
takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-
finish) bottoms are recommended for cake pans and
pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram
absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking
foods by convection.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open
the oven door to check food as little as possible.
